Floyd B. Fairbanks III, 63 February 17, 1959 - June 16, 2022

Haverhill – Floyd B. Fairbanks III, “Russ” 63, of Haverhill, passed away suddenly Thursday evening at his home. Born in Haverhill, he was the son of the late Roberta A. (Constantine) Fairbanks/Wentworth and stepson of Robert H. “Beanie” Wentworth of Haverhill.

Raised and educated in Haverhill Public Schools, he was a graduate of Haverhill High School, Class of 1977. Russ received an Associates Degree from Northern Essex Community College. Adding to his education, he earned several certifications in the IT industry. He was employed for many years as an IT consultant with Dell Inc., and most recently with Unisys Corporation, providing IT consulting services. Adding to his professional successes, he has also been recognized with exemplary employee achievement awards for his advanced skills and services.

Russ was an active community member in Haverhill, known to many as the “Birdman” as he would stroll around town with his beloved Yellow-naped amazon parrot on his shoulder. He had a kind soul, and an even more generous heart. He enjoyed traveling to Brazil, and was a talented cook, often sharing his passion for gastronomy with others.

He is survived by his stepfather, Robert H. “Beanie” Wentworth, of Haverhill, his sister, Pamela F. Weiner and her husband Robert, of Haverhill and Ft. Myers, FL, his brother, Scott D.

Weiner, of Boston, Connor P. Perkins, of Rochester, NH, Michael T. Perkins, of Pepperell, MA, and Joshua H. Fairbanks, of Tyngsborough, MA. He is also survived by his fiancé, Peterson Vale and his lifelong friend, Alfredo Gomez. He will be sadly missed by all friends and family who knew and loved him.
